CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Boomer Esiason and FantasyDraft have teamed up for a special fantasy football contest this weekend to benefit The Boomer Esiason Foundation fighting cystic fibrosis. The contest takes place Sunday, Jan. 3, 2015 and FantasyDraft will donate $3 to the charity for each entry submitted.
The Boomer Esiason Experience will award the winner and one guest a once-in-a-lifetime all-expense paid trip to New York. While in New York they will have the opportunity to sit in on the Boomer and Carton Show on WFAN, attend a private dinner with Boomer and then catch the Big East basketball semi-finals at Madison Square Garden.
Entries to the contest must be submitted by 1 pm Eastern on Sunday, Jan. 3. All of the experience contests are hosted on www.fantasydraft.com.
"This is a great way for fans and listeners to play a fun fantasy football contest on FantasyDraft.com while supporting our fight against cystic fibrosis," said Esiason. "FantasyDraft is the most player friendly fantasy site and their charity efforts should be commended since they really care about giving back."
"I have admired Boomer's very personal work in the fight against cystic fibrosis and we are thrilled to join him in this effort," said Steve Krombolz, COO of FantasyDraft. "FantasyDraft is committed to giving back to the communities where our players play and our athletes live and we are dedicated to providing our players with the best fantasy sports experience."
